Shane Woewodin.
Won a Brownlow one year then ended up playing in the WAFL seniors and reserves a few years later. Big fall.
Could name quite a few from Tasmania over the past 15-20 years that were baked potatos.
"Big names" over here, get drafted, get cut and come back here as "former AFL stars".

If the thread was most average player to have won a Brownlow , Would be a shoe inWoewodin for sure
On the contrary, he'd be rated higher imoKelly would be rated the same if he didn't get to play with who he did and wasn't such a good bloke.

Wouldn't place Stanton as average at all - had periods of playing very poor footy and periods of elite play.The two Brents, Stanton and Macaffer
Fair call ,he was good when he was good.Wouldn't place Stanton as average at all - had periods of playing very poor footy and periods of elite play.
Early 2012 for instance,

R3: 20 disposals, 4 marks, 8 tackles (tagged by Harbrow)
R4: 36 disposals (28 kicks), 17 marks, 4 tackles, a goal
R5: 13 disposals (all kicks), 3 marks, 6 tackles, almost the match-winning goal (tagged by Clarke)

R13: 28 disposals (20 kicks), 5 marks, 7 tackles (tagged by Mzungu)
R14: 29 disposals (20 kicks), 7 marks, 4 tackles
Slowed down later in the season as he just wore down from tags (I remember Cornes and Curnow doing excellent jobs on him) but that first half of the season was just about the best I've seen from a bombers midfielder since Hird - continuously racked up the disposals, marks, and tackles despite copping tags most weeks (maybe an overstatement but he was very good!). I think he had 14 Brownlow votes all up with most if not all of them in the first 8 weeks. All-up had decent seasons from about 06-08 and pretty darn good seasons from 09 to about 15 when he got banned, 2015 was just about his best season all-up as he was consistent all the way through instead of stopping in round 14 as above.
Fair call ,he was good when he was juiced up.
Seriously? Probably Freo's best and most reliable small defender ever. We'd kill to have him in our current team, unlike most of our players he can actually hit targets.Roger Hayden was the first name I thought of
